Bradley Austin Chubb (born June 24, 1996) is an American football outside linebacker for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at North Carolina State University.

High school career

Chubb was a hybrid linebacker-defensive end at Hillgrove High School, where he helped his team advance to the Georgia 6A quarterfinals as a senior.[6] He officially committed to North Carolina State University on June 24, 2013.[7] Chubb also had offers from Duke, West Virginia, Wake Forest, East Carolina, and others.[8]

College career

As a freshman, Chubb received marginal playing time, mostly on special teams. He switched from outside linebacker to defensive end before his sophomore season and broke the starting lineup by the beginning of the season.[9]

As a junior, he continued to start and became a team leader off the field. He finished third in the Atlantic Coast Conference in tackles for loss.[10] During the 2016 Independence Bowl, Chubb sacked Vanderbilt quarterback Kyle Shurmur, which made a favorable impression on Kyle's father Pat Shurmur, who scouted Chubb extensively in early 2018.[11]

Early in his senior season, Chubb, after winning a game against then-No. 12 Florida State, ran to midfield at FSU's Doak Campbell Stadium and spit on the Seminole logo in an apparent act of disrespect.[12] He later apologized for the incident. As for a cause, he alluded to a February 2017 Instagram post on which some Florida State players negatively commented.[13] On November 4, 2017, playing Clemson, Chubb took opposing quarterback Kelly Bryant's towel three times. After not eliciting a reaction after the first two, a Clemson offensive lineman held Chubb after the third time until he gave the towel back. Chubb met with officials after the incident but was not penalized.[14] A week later in a game against Boston College, Chubb recorded two and a half sacks to pass Mario Williams as the all-time sack leader in NC State Wolfpack history. In the same game, he also passed Williams to become the Wolfpack leader in tackles for loss.[15]

During his senior season at NC State, Chubb recorded ten sacks and had almost a third of his 72 total tackles go for a loss.[16] The 23 tackles for loss put him second among NCAA Division I players in 2017.[17] His postseason accolades included being named first-team All ACC, first-team All-America, the Bronko Nagurski Trophy and the Ted Hendricks Award.[18]

Professional career

Chubb was projected to go in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft.[19] Different projections have pegged him as going within the top five (as high as first to the Cleveland Browns) or to the Indianapolis Colts at the sixth pick.[20][21][22] During the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine, Chubb named Von Miller and Khalil Mack as players whom he models his play after.[23]

Chubb was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the first round (fifth overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft.[25] In his NFL debut in the season opener against the Seattle Seahawks, he recorded .5 sacks, three combined tackles, and a quarterback hit.[26] In Week 3, he recorded his first professional full sack in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens.[27]

Personal life

Chubb's brother, Brandon Chubb, played college football at Wake Forest, and signed as an undrafted free agent with the Los Angeles Rams in 2016. Their father, Aaron, was a late-round draft pick of the New England Patriots in 1989.[28] Chubb is the cousin of Nick Chubb, who played for the Georgia Bulldogs,[29] and was later drafted by the Cleveland Browns with the thirty-fifth overall pick in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft.
